VCT East Asia LCQ Results:

The EDward gaming train did not stop, though; it revved throughout the tournament, defeating teams on their way to the finals. The team didn’t drop a single map on the way, defeating Reject and Northeption relatively easily. 

On Slayer, pushed to the lower bracket, had to battle through the lower bracket and play elimination games to reach the finals. They faced the might of Maru Gaming, Crazy Racoons, K-One Esc, and Northeption to face off against EDward Gaming in the finals.

 The finals started with Fracture, and Edward Gaming completely decimated On Slayers once again to win the first map 13-4, to play On Slayers’ Haven next. 

Haven was much more balanced than the first map, with On Slayers almost winning the game but EDward Gaming coming back to win the map 13-11 to the third map. 

The third map Split started with both teams exchanging six rounds, but on defense, EDward gaming completely shut down On Slayers’ attack to win the map 13-9 and win the series 3-0 to become the winners of the VCT East Asia LCQ. 

They now become the 12th team at Valorant Champions and would be flying out to Istanbul, Turkey to play Valorant Champions starting 2nd September
